I'm looking forward to it!
I'm glad to see Clark is slowly gaining a foothold in life. The Vagrant was very sobering.
Just a thought on world building: with over ten million residents, would there really be a "Metropolis High"? "Smallville High" makes perfect sense, but there isn't a similarly named school in New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago — no one school would take a large city's name for itself. It would be more likely to be named after some politician from the city's past, a president, or for a neighborhood it's in. Or you could take a cue from "Coates Orphanage" and name it for someone associated with Superman.
Met U. makes perfect sense too — there's a New York University, a Boston University, a University of Chicago. But a huge city like Metropolis would have dozens of high schools. I addressed this issue in my story "Jo and Jerry". The main thing is, "Metropolis High" and the "Metropolis Lions" are from Lois and Clark canon. Specifically the story "It's a Small World". I have to agree that one school with the city name is a bit odd, even if I went to Sterling Heights High School, a high school named after a city that has 3 high schools, with at least another high school's worth of students attending in schools just outside the city.
More fun though is Detroit, where Central High School is North-west of Northwestern High School.
